CHAPTER 1.
INTRODUCTION
The AP-370VF is a full-size IntelCeleronTM PPGA PCI/ISA single board computer that
uses the Intel 440 BX chipset, and supports Ultra DMA-33 for faster hard drive
transmission speeds and contains health monitoring hardware. The health monitoring
hardware detects and releases an audio alarm if any abnormal function of the operating
voltage & temperature of CPU or it’s cooling fan. For boosting operation, this
motivated card also supports sockets for a Flash Disk, and three DIMMs.
Take note that the AP-370VF is a high power & full engine SBC with an AGP display of
resolution up to 1600x1200 at 256 colors. It is a board that after many feature for a
reasonable cost, without the hassle of going through the extra effort and cost of
additional I/O cards.
The AP-370VF is built as a PCI/ISA expansion card that is simply upgraded by
changing one card from another without replacing the whole system. It provides the
primary elements for building an IBM PC/AT compatible computer for a wide variety of
applications with system integration. The AP-370VF is fully compatible with the IBM
PC/AT which means virtually all the software written for the IBM PC/AT will run on the
AP-370VF SBC.
Other on-board features include two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485), one
multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive controller, a keyboard interface
and a PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both
PIO and bus master modes. Up to four IDE devices can be connected, including large
hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices. Its 6-layer
printed circuit board combined with noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS
technology allows the AP-370VF to withstand many harsh industrial environments.

2.2 INSTALLING AND UPGRADING THE CPU
To upgrade to a higher power CPU, simply remove the old CPU and install a new one;
be sure to set the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.
WARNING!
Disconnect the power cord from your system when you intend to
work on it or when you plan to open the chassis of your industrial
computer. Do not make connections when the power is turned on
because the sensitive electronic components could been
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Please only allo
w
experienced electronic technicians to do this job.
STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTION!
Caution! Computer components are very sensitive to damage
from static electric discharge. Always ground yourself to remove
static charge build-up before touching the boards in the computer.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electroni
c
components on an anti-static pad for static-dissipation or in a
static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
CAUTION!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the batter
y
manufacturer’s instructions or accepted environmental regulator
y
standards.

INSTALLING THE DIMM MODULE:
A DIMM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin1 of the DIMM
module must correspond with Pin1 of the socket.
1. Pull the “tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.
2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notches” in the module aligned with the
“keys” on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is completely seated. The
tabs will hold the DIMM in place.

2.3 JUMPER SETTING OVERVIEW
In order to select the operation modes of your system, configure and set the jumpers on
your SBC to match the needs of your applications. To set a jumper, a black plastic cap
containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pins as designated by the required
configuration as listed in this section. A jumper is said to be “ on ” or “ 1-2 ” when the
black cap has been placed on two of its pins, as show in the figure below:
A pair of needle-nose pliers is recommended when working with jumpers. If you have
any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your
local sales representative before you make any changes. In general, you simply need
a standard cable to make most connections.
